Morning coffee and piss bottles

Do NOT pee from the stand!!!...hold it until you can let er rip into a scrape
Peeing into mock scrapes is one of the tactics to starting the scrape. I have a mock near my barn. I've peed in it for years. I get literally hundreds of pics per week on that scrape.
Human urine does not alarm deer. Let it go, let it flow.

You assume I have the ability to hold it that long. I have the bladder control of an 84 year old woman who walks into a surprise party. And for some unbeknownst reason the urge to go hits super strong just before I get ready to climb down.
 
Let it fly free! And as far as the deuce goes. I dropped one off the front of my lock on early this year. Had numerous deer pass by within 15 yards of my stand and not a one acted as if it bothered them. And to top it off I shot a decent buck later that same afternoon. All day sit. Deuce dropped at approximately 10am and buck shot a little after 3pm. Take it for what it worth

My thought is, leave no foreign scent. Anybody have deer cross their waste stream, and what if any reaction did they have.

Used to use the bottle, too many guys I respect said it won't bother them. Had a lot of deer walk right through the spot never even hesitated. I usually bury the deuce as best I can.

There are plenty of us that have trail cam pics of deer working our mock scrapes hours or even minutes after we've pissed in it.
I usually hate broad-brush statements about deer behavior. Statements about deer always, or never do this or that. But IME of over 48 years hunting and 10 years of making mock scrapes...I've never seen a deer react negatively to human urine.

Quit coffee? Pee into a bottle? Forget all that nonsense lol. I had to put my coffee down to shoot my Ohio buck this year :D I carry a thermos of it with me and it sure is nice on those cold days! I pee from the tree and have never seen a negative reaction to it. Don't think too hard about it, pay attention to the wind, your entry/exit routes and you'll do just fine ;)

I don't know about a poo chute, but the Mantis II should have a hepa fart filter! Now that is thinking outside the box...

Poo schutes and fart filters, this site is a dyi-ers dream come true.
 
So all you guys that just let it fly, what do you drink when you run out of water? ........... "I drink it,because its sterile,and it tastes good" (Patches O'houlahan)
 
Hunt the stand once, pee all over the place. If your coming back 2 or 3 days in a row, bottle. I say that but it is a lot more hassle, plus you gotta buy a Gatorade lol.

I hear ya.
Tip...always try to free Mr Winkie from the 10 layers of clothing you are wearing a couple minutes BEFORE you absolutely can't wait any longer.
Actually, its a good idea to take a "dry run" when you 1st get dressed. You need to have everything in order for fast access when the need suddenly happens. Lol.
You young guys probably don't yet understand...but you will someday. Just wait. You will get old, too.

I pee into a bottle because it requires less acrobatics when hanging from the saddle. Afterwards it is nice to put the warm bottle on my belly.

I need to start making scrapes though, since I have found NONE this season :(

Hahahaha!!! Exactly right!! Line up those layers early on otherwise the deer will hear you cussin' from 100yds away!!
 
Funny story, I don't know why this guy told me what happened to him but I will share his story with you.
Rick was bow hunting when the urge to evacuate his colon hit him. He quickly took off his jacket, undid his suspenders to his bib coveralls, dropped his coveralls and did his business. When he was done he pulled up his coveralls, reached behind himself and flung his suspenders over his shoulder. Unknown to him he crapped on one of his suspenders and flung it all over the back of his head.:eek: Although very funny I always think of this when I need to go while out in the woods. LOL
 
I'm "old school". I piss in a hot water bottle, to be on the safe side. The dead horse of pissin out your tree or in a bottle has been beaten to death. I expect any deer that gets down wind of me to smell me, regardless of my attempts to keep them from it. So, if they get downwind, its almost always too late. Assuming deer do not spook at the smell of human urine, but are still able to detect its presence, is reason enough to keep me from pissin out my tree. I wouldn't put buck lure directly under my treestand either. I want to leave as little human scent behind from my hunt as possilbe, be it from piss, skin cells or raw ass.
 
I'll share one. My buddy in Shedding Light Outdoors and I were asked to film a youth turkey hunt this past spring. There were 2 youths flying in from NY and a lady had asked a couple great turkey callers to join us plus she had her kids. So all together we had 9 people. The caller set up two ground blinds right out in the middle of the field side by side. I'd never seen that before. I got in one with the lady beside me and the two boys in front of me. Prior to this I had drank two cups of Joe that morning. Sunrise comes and two hens work their way across this field. The urge hits, I have to pee. And I for some reason have a weak bladder. So I tried to hold it. Those birds eventually left the field after 15 minutes or so. The urge magnified. So I decided I needed to get to the woodline the opposite direction and take a leak but the woodline was at least 80 yards away. I wouldve just stepped out the blind but there were girls in the blind right next to us. I started to unzip the blind and the boy says "I see another hen". So I sat back down. That standing and sitting motion mustve acted as a pump because I had tears in my eyes at that point. And then I heard it, a gobble. The Tom was coming in. So I have a choice to make, I can step out of this blind and ruin the hunt for the other 8 folks there...OR...I could pee my pants...

So I sat there and peed my pants like a champ. Took one for the team. I prayed that it didnt stink as the lady was right next to me. The sad end to this embarrassing story is the Tom followed that hen across the field and never came close enough for a shot. :(
